Group 7-day waking average?

Another 6.0 yesterday. And as an experiment I didn’t take any metformin as I wondered what the number would be.
 
Morning all, I’ve joined the ranks of people (and there seem to have been a few lately) whose BGs have gone bonkers, with a 10.2 this morning!
Yesterday morning I had an unexpected and stubborn hypo just after breakfast, them I shot up to double figures for the afternoon and evening, despite correction doses. Then I suddenly plummeted at bedtime, so I ate two jelly babies, and here I am in double figures again this morning. This rarely happens to me.
@Northerner, could you double check that the Diabetes Fairy is still buried in the garden?
 
Morning all,
5.8 this morning @Northerner snap!
Tired from yesterday's epic patio work, brickwork repointing today...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

Was gutted yesterday, Bruce messaged with his bank details and asked me to order him a new mod, the one I’ve been eyeing up! £50 for him but would cost me near £100 as I’d need to buy batteries and a charger as I use an inbuilt battery mod just now, maybe see about it if I get money for my birthday but that’s not until November so quite a bit away

Anyways it's a 6.5 for me today, prescription was ordered late Sunday night, at least after 6pm (deleted the confirmation email) and was ready to collect by 4:10pm yesterday, ah well will sit until Bruce picks it up lol

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx

Morning all and a beautiful day here. Spent most of yesterday jetwashing the caravan and decking, it was hard work but worth it. Doggy loves it down here and is the only time she is eager to go for a walk which is lovely. Went on the beach yesterday, she had a paddle and then took this photo on the way back.
6.2 for me today which I don’t deserve as ate so much rubbish - must do better. Going to clean the patio today and sort my plant pots out. Surprisingly quiet here, people obviously don’t want a staycation.
@Hazel hope you are on the mend from your fall.
Have a good day all x60DE796F-1C72-4218-A416-B899D766B3C1.jpeg

Morning everybody. 5.5 for me today. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Phew. Antibiotics and 12 hours of sleep have worked their magic. Still running at 140% of basal insulin, but happy to wake to see a nice line around 5.

Lovely view @SueEK . Enjoy your walks around there.

Have a good day .

If you find the DF, bury it deeper.
I hope things settle for you today.
 
Morning all, down here on 3.5

Rage bolused last night in despair as my big was stuck at 12 for no reason. Hey presto crashing hypo and still low this morning. I’d also like an update on the current location of the Diabetes Fairy @Robin🙂

Glad things are improving for you @SB2015

Have a good day out there.
 
Well it looks like I’m the star pupil today. 5.2! I have just surfaced from my post looking after grandchildren slumber. Three days of the little darlings has quite worn me out. How did I manage with my own three? Oh yeah... I was 30 years younger!
It’s wet and cold here, 12 degrees, what the heck is all that about? @SueEK get a bed made up, I’m on my way down! Looks gorgeous.😎
Have a great day y’all. 🙂
 
:D Oh, @eggyg , is that your first House Special? 🙄 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! You did it! 😛😎😉 SEE & you thought it couldn’t be achieved: oh ye of little faith; I KNEW you would do get some day & you DID! Clapping hands emoji! & DA DA DA DA DA DA! Trumpet fanfare! 😛:D
 
09:13 BS 7.2 :confused: So, so smile but, I’m not TOO unhappy with that!😉 After allI woke around 7am & tried to get back to sleep, couldn’t & gave it up so, COULD have been 5.2 at my usual DP rate of 1mmol/hour?🙄😉

Oops!😳 Accidentally pressed post button when I’m not finished yet but, maybe quick enough on the edit button for you lot not to have noticed but, I’ve already told you!:D😉

Asda shopping delivered today between 12:00 to 14:00 & I must say they’re really annoying me: last shop, left at my door in bags after they rang the doorbell as I forgot to change the CV instructions, had 3 out of my 6 soups ordered were out of date, got my refund online but, sloppy; NOW they emailed me of substitutes, they always do, & they’re trying to palm me off with a cheaper mince turkey than I ordered for the same price!😡 I’ve changed the instructions so, should be face to face, albeit distanced, delivery & I’ll check again & only take the substitute IF I get a price reduction, as it should be: dosen’t exactly engender much trustworthiness!😡

Oh dear, a very rare 2 frowns from me!😱

Anyways, a Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

It’s my third in the last 100 years! Well that’s how long I feel it’s been! 😛

You had a 6.0 without Metformin I’d say that’s pretty good. What might you have been with it?

I’ll see tomorrow as I’m taking the full dose today. Ok so maybe I’ll see over the course of a few days but I like the experimentation

Weight is absolutely flat. No change at all.

Dump some cement on top too.😉

Afternoon all. 4.1 here this morning on the BG rollercoaster - just like you @Robin and @Flower. All over the shop at the minute, for no apparent reason.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend @SB2015.🙂
 
6.2 for me this morning and gone down into a minor hypo despite porridge for breakfast which is a surprise since the recent trend has been upwards into double figures. There was a notable change yesterday so I reduced my basal by one unit last night and half a unit this morning. Looks like the "little darling" has finished with her mischief here and has headed south to you @Robin ...Sorry! 😳 If you catch her, cut off her wings and then bury her deep..... gosh that makes me sound mean!

Ordered another 2 Libre sensors today. Not sure if they will arrive in time for Friday but I have plenty of test strips if I need them. My first 2 sensors have been so good I have only done about 10 finger pricks in the last 25 days. I have certainly felt confident to rely on them for bolus calculations.

@eggyg Many congratulations on your House Special. They are all the more exciting when you get them so infrequently.... I almost feel sorry for poor Dez getting them every other day and probably not getting that huge sense of elation and achievement that those of us who are lucky to get one once in a blue moon experience!
